It's failing in master in the same way.  It seems the ffmpeg parameters 
have changed again but MythArchive hasn't been updated to match. To see 
what's happening if you run the command again giving in the log but 
remove the -v 1 part so you can see what is going on. You will probably 
also have to change '-target dvd' to '-target pal-dvd'. It's still 
failing here complaining about -newaudio and -b but is getting closer :)
